What is Laser Skin Resurfacing?
Laser skin resurfacing is an effective way of rejuvenating the appearance of skin and reversing the damaging effects of sun exposure, aging, and lifestyle habits (such as smoking) on the quality, color, and texture of your skin. Resurfacing lasers are either ablative or non-ablative. Ablative lasers use rapid pulses of high-intensity light to remove the damaged higher layers of your skin, thereby smoothing and tightening the skin, removing wrinkles, and correcting pigmentation issues. Non-ablative lasers are non-wounding and less invasive; they act by stimulating collagen growth and tightening the underlying skin.
When to Consider Laser Skin Resurfacing
Here are some of the instances when you can consider laser skin resurfacing:
If your skin is sun-damaged with wrinkling around your eyes and mouth as well as skin laxity in your lower eyelid area.
If you have experienced irregular changes in your skin color, such as blotchiness or brown spots.
If you have scars that have made the surface of your skin uneven.
If you have certain precancerous skin growths.
